meetings of shareholders. No other changes are being made to the Original Form 8-K.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
| (d) |
As previously reported, at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on May 11, 2023, a majority of the votes cast by shareholders favored submitting a Say-on-Pay Proposal to a vote of shareholders each year, as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors. Based on the shareholders’ preference and consistent with its
previous recommendation, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved submission of a Say-on-Pay Proposal for a vote of shareholders each year until the next required vote
by shareholders on a Say-on-Pay Proposal.
